Keep up to date with what Alison Hernandez is doing to make Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly safer. Here you can find news articles, blogs, videos, images and audio in our multimedia section along with our regular newsletters.

Here you can find all of the statutory information we publish as a public sector organisation as well as instructions on how to submit a Freedom of Information request and disclosure log of previous requests.

We're committed to involving as many people as possible in our work. Here you can find more information about volunteering, our approach to community engagement as well as how you can report your concerns and take part in consultations.

There are hundreds of people, of all ages, offering their services to Devon and Cornwall's policing family as volunteers. Special Constables, cadets, independent custody volunteers, all play their part in keeping communities safe and protecting victims.
Alison Hernandez wants to extend the role of volunteers and create more opportunities to help.
Find out what he is doing here.

In April 2015 the police and crime commissioner took responsibility for the provision of victims services.
The OPCC has joined with Devon and Cornwall Police to create a Victim Care Unit which has day to day responsibility for victim's welfare.
The PCC has also overseen creation of a victim services directory, a focal point offering help and support to victims of crime.

Tony Hogg and his team are continuing to build the strongest possible case to respond to the proposals and to assist others to do the same. We will shortly publish information on the proposal and its full impact on Devon and Cornwall together with our views on what changes should be made to the proposal to make the system fair as we prepare our full submission to the consultation. We will also be sharing all this information with local bodies and our 18 MPs.

To ensure that the voice of rural areas is heard we would encourage everyone in Devon and Cornwall to directly respond to the Home Office consultation.

There are four main issues of concern/objection for us – which are set out in the pro forma letter below – all you need to do is sign and send.

The four main issues that we object to are:

The impact of tourism on policing demand is being ignored.

No account is taken of rural policing demands.

The whole formula is biased towards metropolitan areas.

Non-crime demand must be reflected fairly for all areas.

Please take the time to send a response. We need to send the strongest possible message to Government that money must not be taken away from rural areas like Devon and Cornwall and given to metropolitan areas.
